Jock Walk

I have a special song that I sing to P in the mornings, it is a song my mom used to sing to me, and it goes like this:Good morning to you,Good morning to you,Were all in our places,With sunshiny faces,and this is the way,we start a new day.

I hum that to myself most mornings. I also sing that to P regularly in the mornings. He claims he doesn't like it, but I know better. I know he really does!

P also has a morning ritual. A few times a week before I leave, the likes to tell me, "Try to walk less like a jock." He then proceeds to mimic the way I walk. However, when he mimics me, it looks as if an ape were walking up right, just a tad step past dragging his knuckles on the ground.UHH--as if.....I walk the way I walk and I like it.I walk fast- really fast. I don't really like to meander. I have a goal, I get to it, get it done, and move on.I step hard--I will give him that one. I am a loud walker. I wear heels almost everyday and they are loud.I am an alpha walker--I usually weave in and out of people, and I always try to slip in the door before the next person.Sometimes I race people to doors, corners, mailboxes. They don't know we are racing, but usually I win, and do a little victory celebration in my mind.

Most mornings when P does his little routine, I roll my eyes and laugh.I walk how I walk, and I like it.To be honest, I know he does too!

Haha- My husband says I walk loud. He says he can hear me coming a mile away. Probably cause I always wear heels. Oh well. The worse was when I was pregnant. He told me it sounded like an elephant was walking around our house. Yah- didn't win any points with that comment.
